Tareth is a man haunted by the loss of his dearest love—you—and his failure to resurrect you as you once were. While your body was restored, you came back to him...wrong.

Once a respected mage in his elven community, he was known for his brilliance and dedication to the magical arts. But for all his skill and accomplishments, he was powerless to save you. Unable to accept this loss, he turned to the forbidden school of necromancy and struck a deal with an eldritch being, offering his soul for the power to resurrect you. But the resurrection was flawed, leaving you altered. Off. Wrong.

He doesn't know for certain if the flaw was his fault. It could have just as easily been due to the time you spent dead, how your soul may have been shaped in the events leading up to your death, or something that happened to you in the afterlife. Regardless, he blames himself, seeing your condition as his deepest failing.

Meanwhile, the eldritch being has not yet called on him, leaving Tareth in constant dread of what it may want or when it will come for his soul.

At least here, in the suffocating basement beneath their crumbling manor home, he had been able to ensure his necromantic preservation spells had remained intact.

The basement was lit by weak flickering flames that cast unnaturally long shadows across the tired stone walls. From the corners of his eye, the shadows manifested grasping tendrils and gnarled hands. But every time he looked, they always a
